Could we add code to either the request processor or the action servlet to add the default message resource defined in a struts.config to a scope (app/session/request) under the key "javax.servlet.jsp.jstl.fmt.localizationContext", so the default bundle works with fmt:message without having to do a fmt:setBundle. I would think it make sense to do this on a request basis to support different modules.
If this is already the case already, then I must be doing something else wrong. If it is being set like this the case... please let me know, ignore this request, and let me be the first to say nice!! Thanks - Mike
